How to match cabinetry paint for skirting and frame?

ktpop

Help! We recently installed Dulux Natural White 2pac cabinets. I painted the cabinet frames and skirting Dulux Natural White. The colour was originally Dulux Dieskau. I’ve done 5 coats and the colour still appears very cool.

I’m not sure if it is the lighting, as I also painted the two corner panels to the right and appear to be a similar colour.

Should I try another coat or two? Or, try adding a warmer white into the mix like Antique White USA?

I know it’s going to be hard getting an exact match, but I think it would be less of a contrast if the frames end up slightly warmer than the cabinets?

Hello @ktpop

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your kitchen's cabinet paint.

I suspect that it is a combination of both the light hitting it and the shade of the actual paint. I don't think adding another coat will change the tone and colour of the paint. I suggest bringing one of the doors or drawer panels to your local store and asking the senior paint specialist to see if they can colour match the paint. Please note that some high glossy surfaces are difficult to colour scan. Your paint specialist will be able to explain this to you in more detail.

However, if the paint matching is successful, the cabinet paint should match your doors or at least get very close to the colours tone and finish.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
